What the heck was wrong with KTAQ?

This morning, I was channel surfing and came upon KTAQ-DT. It had a green static but had the stations live sound come from it. What happened?

That's generally how digital video equipment reacts when the input signal is lost. I would say either a cable failed somewhere at the studio, or a piece of distribution equipment failed. Apparently KTAQ uses discrete audio within their plant. (it is possible to embed the audio in the video, in which case both would be lost...)

There was nothing wrong with the KTAQ transmitter or stream multiplexer, and probably nothing wrong with the MPEG encoders.
